Citizenship as political belonging in the history of twentieth century Europe

Communication de Dieter Gosewinkel, résident à l'IEA de Paris, dans le cadre de la Conference Parliaments and Minorities: Ethnicities, Nations and Religions in Europe, 1848-1948 organized by "The Pears Institute for the study of Antisemitism and the History of Parliament Trust: a British Academy Conference"

Details:

From the revolutions of 1848 to the beginning of the Cold War, nationalist and minority movements within the complex ethnic map of Europe have interacted with democratic political forces, stretching the various rules and conventions of parliamentary systems – historically created by the aristocratic elite – to breaking point. This conference will explore the rise and impact of nationalism on parliaments and political organisation. It will also examine the collective experience of a continent in how to resolve, or fail to resolve, cultural oppositions through institutional means.
